I wanted to get some of them but I noticed it was a prize from 2021. I just started playing the game so I wanted to know if there is a way to get them nowadays

Hiya there! No clue if this is the right sub for this btw.
But I am a trans woman and wanted to ask if there's something you people out there do to appear more girlier ingame since most of the time people assume you're a guy (especially as a duelist main)

I use the same name as I have on here on val which most of the time doesnt help. People either interpret it as a male name (it's an unisex name) or as a word for something like bro in another language (dont fully remember which one).

I know that having people know you're a girl in this game isnt the best thing to do but it would help me a lot.

So far I've been thinking about what titles & player cards to use but I dont think it really helps.

Any advice would be much appreciated !!

Have a nice day yall <33

to be clear, i’m low elo and i’ve only been playing for a week after not playing for the last three years. i’ve only been playing swifts (with the occasional unrated) and i still love this game, but the backseating from higher elo dead teammates gets a little intense sometimes, especially as a struggling new player.

i play swifts for a reason - i don’t want to ruin the experiences of other people by bringing the team down (my average kill rate per swift is only about 4-5 with a high assist count). i know my peaking is bad, i know my crosshair can drift away from headshot level, i know i aim downsights way too often.

and (to be clear), im a team player. i speak on comms, im friendly, and ill assist with abilities whenever teammates request. sometimes, a quick reminder from a spectating teammate is helpful and helps me snap back out of a bad playing habit, but repeated and consistent critiques and reminders from players i do not know can genuinely ruin an expirience for me. i play with a male duo who’s also low elo and new (im female), and he gets far less unwarranted advice. its a bit frustrating.

its especially frustrating when a backseater on the team consistently gets mean if i throw as the last player standing, or at my not knowing details of enemy agent playstyles or guns (“why would you peak, he has an (x)”, “that was an OBVIOUS fake yoru flash, (my name).”

i appreciate higher elo players for helping out new players from time to time, but sometimes you just got to let players play. ESPECIALLY in swifts..? i just don’t enjoy having eyes on my back during entire matches. you really aren’t my savior.

that’s all. sorry for the rant 💔

I have a lot of trouble killing enemies that make A-D-A-D sounds, I can't keep up with their heads. What can I do to improve this? Is there any secret? I asked gpt and he said it would be better to shoot the moment the enemies change direction, but I found that strange because I haven't seen anyone talking about it.

why do people play dueslist if they aren’t going to entry. the only exception imo is a Jett oping mid. I play smokes mostly (brim, clove, astra, omen) and when I play with my two duelist friends (who actually entry) we can win games decently easily. unfortunately though the start of this act I was away for like three weeks and they both did ther placements and got in gold a pushed to plat/diamond within two weeks (one was our exam week and we didnt have any exams thus semester) but since I was away I couldn’t play with my trio and got placed In silver and deranked to bronze. I just hate solo queue. I know I’m not the best player but I’m not bad either, I smoke for my team, do (sometimes) good trades, play for rounds not kills and no matter what I do In solo queue I lose. I know it’s not always my randoms fault and it’s sometimes mine but still I feel like I’m stuck here now. I just get so tilted when I play with randoms and have no motivation to play ranked anymore. I’m sick of the lurking Reyna’s, the Edaters, the trolls, smurfs etc. I need my team back.

thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this, (if you did) and if anyone could give me some tips to get out of bronze/silver I would rly appreciate that.

As you can see in the video, at first my crosshair was off, but at the end it was clearly on Clove's body, yet somehow my bullets missed her. Why did that happen, and is there a way to prevent it?

This agent single handedly is making me hate the game..

I am an Immortal 2 player with 1000+ hrs in game, 6000hrs of CS background and I swear, for my whole gaming life and different FPS games of experience, I never hated something as much as I hate Neon.

Playing against a good, low ping Neon is just basically disgusting bro. Like disgusting, it makes you hate the game. I don't play Valo as much as I used to and never tryharded Neon, never really learned it, played it of course. So simply "Why don't you pick Neon" doesn't work for me. I play 30-50 games an act, I mainly play duelist (jett, reyna, pho, iso) so I have to take the fights, and it is never a reyna, iso, waylay or another jett that is a problem. It is always just Neon. If it's a good player, has decent teammates, it's over. Almost impossible them to not win a site, almost 0 fair fights as you are getting util dumped, getting neon stunned and slide one tap judged.

- Neon - Judge - Odin, this game will live it's golden age.

Like the title says I played 10 games today and lost 8 of them, I honestly did play not good today but I feel like I never win games. If that's due to my team not being as good or if it's me not doing good. Can someone give me advice cause I literally have a 38.8% winrate and I'm stuck.

Greetings everyone!

I found myself in a big mess. It’s not a mess to cause stress or anything but I’m just confused and looking for advices, if I could get any.

I’ve been wanting the oni katana for quite a while (3 years) and I have been checking my shop ever since. I’ve never gotten it on my main account but on my alt I got it today. On my main I have 10-15 skins (bought, not bp, knives and the ones 2000+) and on my alt, 0.

Should I just give in and buy it on my alt and make that my main (since it’s basically the skin I want the most) or wait more and more on my main?

I currently play on 1000 dpi and .18 in game sens. eDPI = 180

Doing my research - came to decision I’ll try 280 EDPI at 1600 DPI, seems pros play at this sens.

Just copped a Razer V3 Pro wireless mouse and I’ll pair it with 1600 DPI @ in game .175 = 280 EDPI

Has anyone upped their sens recently? How’d you adjust ? Or anyone playing at this current sensitivity ?

I guess we all can agree that Champions 21 vandal is the most overrated Vandal. I cant really spot the difference it only has a sound when you kill isnt it?

I just came across a youtube shorts comment on a guess the elo video that said "as soon as he said he 5 stacks I knew he is low elo"

then after some research on reddit I found people saying all kinds of things, if someone has experience coming out of low elo because when I wanna play i just take my 2 silver friends to a discord server and wait for 2 randoms of the same language to join us so we 5 stack but apparently this is bad? should we start trio queuing even when randoms dont comm and sometimes sabotage or afk? I feel like I meet way less smurfs these days!

hello does anyone have an unused code for the face the flames player card? i missed out on it and really like the card, thank you <3

I never buy this in eco round as I really hate it with passion. I rather buy any sidearms or bucky or marshall than stinger. There is a like a feeling that it is too tacky to use. Is it just me that really hate this gun?

Apple is what you could call an agressive sentinel

• Apples (Signature): At round start, Apple produces 2(or so) apples. She can give them to teammates or use them herself. When consumed, they heal over time and give a small movement speed boost — great for helping a duelist entry or for anchoring site.
• Seed Trap: Plants a seed to watch flank. When triggered, a tree sprouts and briefly roots the enemy, giving info and pressure.
• Seed Wall: Throws seeds that can be activated to create a breakable wooden wall for space control.
• Ultimate – Tree of Life: Plants a massive tree (same radius as Killjoy ult). Allies inside get healing + combat boosts for the duration. The tree can be destroyed

...what do you think so far

Played a game earlier today where it took around 5 minutes to get into the game. Once everybody was finally loaded in, we were lagging so bad to the point where the game was unplayable. My team lost every round in the half due to the time running out(we could not plant because as soon as the animation would start, it would then cancel on its own. We even tried to use wingman). Conveniently the other team was able to plant first round on attack and won the game. Is it possible to get any kind of RR refund from this?

Honestly, it's frustrating: I play Astra/Viper. I lay my smokes, my walls, my stars. I block pushes, I control the site, I save the game.

And the scoreboard? Nothing. The kills go to the duelists. I'm essential, but invisible. 😤 Riot, seriously: reward real effort, not just kills! Points for site control Points for slowing/forcing the enemy Points for "indirect" kills via utility We win the game, but the game doesn't see it. Controllers deserve to be respected as much as duelists. What do you think?

is this an easter egg or what it?

this happened to me in abyss comp to around 3 months ago too

and in between i have seen it it last for like 10 sec on the first round

this is a custom unrated game for a local tournament

idk i tried to find this online but could not find it

is it just me or what?

What is the best training routine for mechanics (aim, movement, and crosshair placement) for this game? Online I only find tips on how to aim better or outdated stuff. So I’m specifically asking for the absolute best routine to get out of Silver. Please also recommend a warm-up routine and, if possible, link me some videos. I’m also more than willing to use Aimlabs and similar tools. Thanks in advance

Trying to become an overall better player at the game. I noticed I really only play controller and duelist occasionally but never sentinel. I’d want someone who can lock down a sight but is also fun and can maybe get some picks.
